Golden State Warriors’ Stephen Curry Labels Team “Very Average” After Disappointing Loss to Clippers

Following a tough 130-125 loss to the Los Angeles Clippers, Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry didn’t hold back in his assessment of the team’s performance this NBA season. Labeling them as “very average,” Curry emphasized the need for the Warriors to step up their game in order to compete in the highly competitive league.

Curry highlighted the urgency for the team to go on a winning streak, especially in home games, and to secure some crucial victories on the road. With a balanced 26-26 record, evenly split between home and away performances, Curry stressed the importance of restoring the formidable home-court advantage that the Warriors have historically enjoyed.

Warriors general manager Mike Dunleavy Jr. seemed to acknowledge the team’s need for improvement, as reports surfaced about the team’s bold attempt to acquire LeBron James from the Los Angeles Lakers ahead of the trade deadline.

The recent game against the Clippers served as a wake-up call for the Warriors, as even Curry’s impressive 41-point performance couldn’t prevent the team from squandering a 15-point lead. The vulnerabilities were evident in the fourth quarter, where they were outscored 44-28, ultimately leading to the defeat.

Statistically, the Warriors’ mediocrity is reflected in their .500 record, a 13th place ranking in net rating, and a disappointing 11-23 record against teams with .500 or better records. Their success has primarily come against weaker teams, with a 15-3 record.

As the All-Star break approaches, there is hope within the team for a reset and a stronger second-half performance. However, based on current trends, there is skepticism about the Warriors’ ability to elevate their game and make a significant impact in the remainder of the season.
